Last year of production Ogden’s St Bruno?

[PipeIT]

What’s the last year of production for Ogden’s St Bruno Ready Rubbed tin/pouch?

I’ve read online that MacBaren took over production 2006.

TinBids has an auction for a pouch listed as Ogden’s production from 2008, that I was thinking to bid on if this was really from Ogden in the UK.

If you post that publicly it will be gone in nano-seconds.

I’m only trying to find out the last year Ogden produced it, and since I’m not certain, I didn’t really bid hard on it, and didn’t win it.

But I did win my first two auctions, so I’m happy with that.

I’m sure there might be more vintage St Brunos out there somewhere, later on.

But for now, trying to understand last production year? hmm

I thought it was 2006, so I wasn’t sure when the TinBids auction was saying;

Ogdens UK production from 2008

I was like hmm Ogden from 2008...

P.S. I see you selling there, maybe I’ll get a better deal on that Murray’s this time, LOL just kidding...

By the way, thanks for the link, really nice read.

I wonder if the name Ogden under clock is going to stay? According to the article they’re keeping the clock.

Such a piece of history, I hope they keep the building original.

Regardless of the dangers of smoking, tobacco companies like Ogden helped shape a nation, the UK should remember that.

I couldn’t see it. I’d be avoiding it unless it’s one of those pouches which has the sealed plastic container inside like their flake.

It was a pouch of ready rubbed with a plastic seal around it.

I did however win some other blends, I was going to post, but not sure if showing your winnings would make others uncomfortable... hmm
